My girlfriend and I had been driving around town looking for somewhere we could unwind and shed the stale taste of our work week. After trying our luck at some well-known establishments like Buffalo Wild Wings, we decided to try our hand here as we were in desperate need of good drinks and real people. The Wooden Nickel did not disappoint! We found some of the most colorful, friendly, and inviting people in this rock'n country bar. I am a man of above average stature and usually receive questionable looks when I enter a room. However, upon stepping through the door, I was greeted with true hospitality. No one seemed to be a stranger under the roof of the Wooden Nickel. The incredible friendly hospitality spread beyond every corner. The atmosphere is everything you'd want in a bar or nightlife environment. We met some of the most amazing people one could wish to come in contact with, and the drinks were outstanding 👌.

Read moreI came out last night, Saturday looking forward to doing karaoke after being at home all summer. Well there is no more Saturday night karaoke :( @ the Wooden Nickel, only Fridays I guess so will try again soon on a Friday.

Lol..jk..the bartender Heidi made us some superb "liquid marijuana" drinks that I never heard of but the gal I was with suggested them and were very good and the philly cheese steak fries were the bomb! Lesson here is don't judge a..book..I mean..bar..by it's cover. Very clean, great hard working normal folks, patrons whatever you say. Great people, great staff, great food, no fights lol, and awesome karaoke with none other than "Smoke"..the well seasoned, very cool and polite karaoke host of this era. This bar is a hidden gem with some fantastic singers and we had an absolute blast and I (singular, ha) look forward to visiting again...
